I watched them at Exeter a week and a half ago. They played 4-4-2 then (although they played a 4-5-1 on Tuesday) and were pretty traditional in the way they set up. 2 physical centre backs, 2 steady full backs, a strong centre mid in McCullough and a savvy one in Perkins, 2 out-and-out wingers and 2 athletic forwards. Their players aren't as talented as Bury and they aren't as "professional" as Lincoln, but they're well organised and have threats in the right areas.

I'd say that we should stick with 4-2-3-1 for the game:

Iversen

Hamer

Clarke

Edmundson

Iacovitti

Missilou

Sylla

Dearnley

Maouche

Nepomuceno

Lang

Not ideal having Maouche in the Baxter role, but there's no point putting O'Grady and Vera up against centre backs that are going to overpower them. If Maouche finds the gaps between their defence and midfield and Lang drags their centre backs out of position, we might get some joy.

Agree with this team. It's a shame we can't drop Maouche who has been coasting through games for as long as I can remember. Lots of ability but he can't really be arsed.

Doesn’t matter if he’s talking about Hunt or Gardner. The problem with either walking straight into the team is they are both fucking crap ! Hunt especially for me. What’s he good at ? Seriously ? Somebody please try to tell me. At least Gardner is good at running (well he’s not shit at it )

How long before Connor Brown is a cult hero who gave a commanding, world beating performance every game? Seems to be that over a bit of time people forget just how shit players were doing (Dan Gardner for one). We could sign Ali Dia and after two weeks out with a groin strain he'd be up there with Pele in some people's eyes

Hunt at right back is a good player at this level in my opinion, at left back he's average at best. As we've got plenty of left footed players who can play left back I'd rather play them, and Hamer is a better option at right back with the potential to play higher.
